Follow the flavors of old downtown Busan
with a local food guide

This walking food tour starts at BIFF Square and visits 8–9 spots in Busan's old downtown, where you'll taste more than 10 dishes. It runs in small groups of up to 8, and your English-speaking guide tells the stories behind each dish and the food culture shaped by port workers and post-war refugees. The tour lasts about 3.5–4 hours depending on the group's pace.

Taste hand-cut kalguksu at a BIFF Square stall

BIFF Square, home of the Busan International Film Festival, has long been a gathering place for street food stalls. Taste thick hand-cut kalguksu noodles, sliced with a knife by the ladies who run the outdoor kitchens, served with fermented kimchi and gochujang sauce if you like.

Enjoy tteokbokki, fritters and fish cakes at Kkangtong Market

Explore 'Tin Can Alley', Gukje Market and Bupyeong Kkangtong Market, once a trading hub for US military canned goods. Taste Busan's signature tteokbokki with fried peppers and fried squid, and try fish cakes, for which Busan is considered the home. Then enjoy handmade dumplings and a seafood pancake made with fresh seafood.

Pass Book Street and explore Jagalchi Market

Stroll through Bosu-dong Book Street and taste Busan-style japchae made with glass noodles and hearty dwaeji gukbap. Next, take in the lively scene at Jagalchi Market, lined with octopus, seaweed and all kinds of seafood. Finally, wrap up the tour with bingsu and ssiat hotteok filled with sunflower seeds, and return to BIFF Square where you started.
